Might be CBJ.Young players tend to look lost because they're way too cautious and scared to make a costly mistake. I remember when Slaf would only support his teammates along the boards because he was afraid of making the wrong play and his teammates not being able to defer to him. At the end of the year he passed the puck, and went to the net.
My theory is that fans are traumatized by Josh Anderson and Jesse Puljujarvi. Big = Dumb.
Sounds like the Ducks know there’s a team below them that is down bad for Sennecka.
I like Dickinson but I'd take my chance on the possibility of getting Chara 2.0
Goldenhands has compared him to Aho I believe (sorry if I'm misremembering that), but I don't really see that kind of upside with him. Stylistically it fits, but Aho has a better nose for the net and better finishing touch.
Senneke would fit in perfectly with the Ducks.I heard about Anton Silayev and Cayden Lindstrom early on, but with time and the information I've gathered on the Ducks, I'm not convinced they'll take either one. Pat Verbeek has a type of player, and these two guys would suit him. The same goes for Sam Dickinson.
But the name that was given to me twice in the last hours regarding Anaheim is that of Beckett Sennecke. I think Sennecke is well positioned to be selected early and I think the Ducks are definitely considering that possibility. That would shake things up. » -Scott Wheeler

Is that a real pic? How can someone play competitive hockey their whole life and have legs that look like that? Maybe his true calling is goaltending.
Iginla doesn’t come with an herniated disk.
that is a bonus.And Iginla is six months younger. It counts at that age.
I remember when KK being one of the youngest players of the draft was a massive factor to consider when debating between him and Tkachuk who was the oldest. Good times.
Wasn't it also one of the reason some folks like McCagg prefered Laine to Matthews?I remember when KK being one of the youngest players of the draft was a massive factor to consider when debating between him and Tkachuk who was the oldest. Good times.
For the record though, no one wanted Tkachuk at the time for a myriad of reasons. You'd be hard pressed to find a poster who was actually all about taking him.I remember when KK being one of the youngest players of the draft was a massive factor to consider when debating between him and Tkachuk who was the oldest.

A lot of importance is given to offensive production (with good reason)I also remember full of people in this thread are not high on offensive potential of Brady Tkachuk. They are high on Filip Zadina.

As much importance should be given to tools and the overall profile of the player
Silayev at 5 if he is there ;- )

As someone who had Brady down at 9, I thought he'd be a good 2nd line support forward and definitely underestimated his ceiling.In my 20+ years on HF Boards, I have never seen a prospect so unanimously despised as a possible selection for our club leading into a draft more than Brady Tkachuk. 95% of the posters on the Habs board were convinced he’d be nothing more than a bottom six grinder. We collectively wanted “skill.” Many posters had anxiety in the weeks leading into the draft at the thought of us drafting him.
2nd is Louis Leblanc. Ugh, we all knew it was coming and many of us were not impressed in the slightest.
3rd is David Reinbacher, but mainly because everyone knew it would mean no Michkov.
This will be the best of days or the worst of days.
Nice....San Jose is forfeiting their pick. Celly, welcome to the Habs
